(Lanka e News -19.July.2018, 11.30PM) Aparekke PungyanandaThera the chief incumbent of Pamunuwatte Nagasella Sri Vivekaramaya, Mirigama , and JHU Gampaha district ex M.P. was arrested on the 17th on charges of committing sodomy on a ten years old boy.

The victim had been brought to the temple to make him a monk . However instead of doing that Aparekka the chief monk of the temple had done something else – committed sodomy on the boy every now and again for about a week. The boy who finally escaped from the temple had gone back to his parents and related what this rascally monk did to the boy. The sex starved Pungyanandaya was arrested after the parents of the boy lodged a complaint with Mirigama police.

The victim was admitted to Mirigama base hospital , and subsequently transferred to Gampaha district general hospital for further investigation.

What is more shocking than this is , this Pungyananada Thera has committed sodomy on five samanera (young) monks in the age range between 10 and 14 years in 2011 too , and he was trapped. The young samaneras had made statements to the police that this rascally sex pervert Pugyananda comes in the night , frightens them and commits the crimes. In courts the accused admitted he occasionally sodomized the samaneras , and had pleaded guilty.

Yet , there is no mention of the punishment that was meted out to him then. Moreover there are no reports that such monstrous child molesters in robes had been punished by the Buddha sasana order for their unpardonable crimes and sins. No wonder these sex starved scoundrels are continuing to commit the same crime again and again after coming back to the temples wearing the sacred robes .It is a pity some elders are even blind and dumb to these crimes committed on innocent growing children . Not enough allowing these robed rascals to indulge in these disgraceful criminal activities , these elders even worship and make religious offerings to these religious humbugs .

If there are no pure Buddhist leaders of the religious order to disrobe these rascals and chase them out with a view to save the Buddha sasana from further degradation and disgrace , at least the people must take upon themselves that blessed task.
